Thank you. I bought my first Alphabet Commercial from a pawn shop on 1st Avenue in Seattle in 1966 when I was stationed at McChord AFB. I shot it a lot and it was a tack driver. I paid $70 for it.

I've always liked the 30 Luger cartridge. The last 30 I bought is an all matching Swiss P'00/'06 in excellent condition made in 1910. I paid $2,000 for it. I shot one full magazine through it to see how it shot and I hit an 8 inch steel plate at 25 yards all 8 shots. It will remain unfired again for as long as I own it.
